Sounds like you'd like an upgrade though.

It's not about t-shirts; it is about a coherent/cohesive marketing strategy. But do as you will.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion; mine's just based more on commonly accepted marketing strategy.

my recommendation?  k.i.s.s.

KInda a side note that your comment made me think about, what do you guys usually do with your old GPU when you upgrade? For a long time now I have been in the habit of selling my old GPU right after I get a new one, so the price to upgrade is only ever as high as the difference between what I can sell my old one for and what the new one costs. 

 

Because of Covid/mining, when I sold my 1080Ti and upgraded to an RX6800, I actually made a little bit of money (like $10). After that I sold my RX6800 for $400 and bought the 7900XT for $800. 

 

Do you guys do this sort of thing? 

I typically give away things to those deserving, mostly because I can't take it with me.

Now that I could use a new to me  truck though...

something like those would do

because

i'm a simpleton. i do folger's dark in my bunn, or green tea bags in hot water.

gives me more room to think about other stuff.

FWIW and I haven't tried it, you can apparently run Windows on a Steam Deck:

The Steam Deck is powered by SteamOS, but you can install Windows on it with the proper installation media

The linked page provides three ways to do so--including permanently replacing the Steam OS with Win 11--but doesn't necessarily recommend making the permanent change.
